About the project (provided by the applicant)
Ancient China… A mystical land full of wonders. As often happens in fairy tales and in life, the supreme ruler believes that all wonders should belong only to him, including the magical lotus that fulfills wishes. But fate has its own plans — and the lotus falls into the hands of simple people: a janitor and a cleaning woman from the imperial palace. Drawn into a whirlwind of incredible adventures, the heroes discover that even terrifying rats can behave nobly, and dreadful toads may show compassion.
Yet the true miracle is that the flower senses the innermost desires of those who possess it — and fulfills them. Eastern wisdom, subtle hints, an intricate kaleidoscope of events, and an orchestra with traditional Chinese instruments all emerge, as if from a marvelous Chinese casket, in the performance «Three Lotuses.»
Scenographer, People’s Artist of Russia Maria Rybasova, embodied both the tender beauty of nature and the ornate décor of palaces and halls in the mobile stage sets — with dragons, of course, included.
